Most people record at 30fps, which is good since you can tell the exact start and end by using the 1-frame discrepancy between Mario appearing and the time counter appearing and the value of the timer during countdown.

unfortunately for ils that aren't 8-4 (ie 1-1 fire mario) if the frame skipped due to 30 fps is the frame where he grabs the flag its a lot of effort usually to get the ending frame since its not very obvious like a sprite blink if the last frame was skipped or not

ok so, I have a maybe big brain idea. We should do an All Items IL leaderboard. So you basically have to get every power-ups in a level. To make it easier for mods, we could set a minium time before using milliseconds and straight up reject slow times (like a 1:15 on 1-1 idk). This will make it so the mods don't have to retime every run to the millisecond, therefore making it easier to keep up with submissions. Again, idk if this is the best idea, but it is the only way to have some sort of ILs for Mario and not make it way too easy or having like 69 TWR. Hope this will be done. If not, well rip.

This is an good idea and would nerrow the numbers down, but if 10 people do runs of every level you get. 10 x (8 x 4) = 320 runs to verify.

Yes, but if you divvy up those 320 runs between each of the 16 moderators, you got 20 runs per moderator, which actually isn’t that bad because level runs are actually pretty short, so I can see this as being doable tbh.

As a person that used to verify runs and has seen the problems of "Beat 1-1 as Fire Mario" first hand, I can guarantee this will never be added to the boards here.

However, it absolutely can exist as a separate document, as roopert said previously on this thread

If any of you actually want to do this, make a Google Doc - make it editable by who you trust and consider "mods" of your project, and read-only to everyone else. Make a link to it, and let people submit runs to you. I can tell you, though, that this has been attempted in the past - and been abandoned, because of lack of interest / workload / difficulty of timing.
